You can load up to 8 user-defined scenes by placing them in the root folder of an SD card and inserting it into the connected VBOX unit. All the required scenes must be loaded at the same time. Every time you load scenes to the VBOX unit, they will overwrite those previously saved on the unit. You can select the scene on the DPS05 OLED Display. If there are scene files on the VBOX Unit, a screen will prompt you to select a scene when you power up the DSP05 OLED Display.

If you press the button when you see this prompt, the DSP05 OLED Display will show you a list of available scenes.

Once the DSP05 OLED Display is powered and in use, you can access the scene selection through the main menu.

When the VBOX unit has acquired satellites, it will check the GNSS location against Racelogic’s track map database and load the available layouts.

Where a track has multiple layouts, you must use this menu option to select the layout you are driving, as this allows the DSP05 OLED Display to load the correct start/finish line(s).   

If start/finish lines are not available for your location, you can set them manually.

When enabled, this mode will change the Predictive Lap Timing display to show your current speed as well as Delta-T information, when your speed drops below a specified threshold for a set amount of time.

This function is optimised for use with both 'Virtual Safety Car' conditions and Pit Lane speed limits.

The Delta-T Speed Mode is disabled by default. The default settings are:

Speed: 65 km/h
Time Delay: 1.5 seconds

The display will return to the Predictive Lap Timing mode when your speed increases to 5 km/h over the configured Delta-T Speed Mode value.

For example, if you have set your DSP05 OLED Display to Predictive Lap Timing mode and you have enabled Delta-T Speed Mode;

  • When your speed drops below 65 km/h for a minimum of 1.5 seconds, the display will change to show your current speed alongside your Delta-T.
  • When your speed increases to 70 km/h, the display will revert to Predictive Lap Timing Mode.
